Funny Girl background

Funny Girl

Fanny Brice's rise to fame as a Ziegfeld girl is defined by her challenges in reconciling her professional ambitions with her tumultuous personal life, most notably her complicated romance with Nick Arnstein.

Fanny Brice, a talented comedienne and singer in early-20th-century New York, knows she's not the typical beauty of the stage. To get her break, she uses her wit and charm, helped by friend Eddie Ryan, to land a part in a vaudeville show. Her success eventually catches the eye of impresario Florenz Ziegfeld Jr., making her a star of the Ziegfeld Follies.
